Adam Schiff did everything in his power to make himself the star of the impeachment show .
Once that show failed , however , Schiff faded into the distance .
News networks no longer had a reason to put his face on TV everyday .
Now Schiff has found a way to wriggle back into the limelight .
Appearing on MSNBC yesterday , Schiff claimed that we need to make prepaid postage ballots available for Americans .
His reasoning ?
Why , Donald Trump is going to prevent people from voting in 2020 of course !
Trump simply has questioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , since it does open the opportunity for voter fraud opportunities .
Democrats don ’ t seem to want to answer any questions as to how we can ensure mail-in voting will create an accurate , fair election .
Here ’ s the details on Schiff ’ s latest appearance from the New York Post : House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said he worries more that President Trump will try to keep “ millions of Americans ” from voting safely in November than he does that the commander-in-chief would try to delay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden ’ s concern that Trump would try to delay the November election because of coronavirus , Schiff ( D-Calif. ) said the president did not have the authority to do so .
“ I ’ m more worried he will try to disenfranchise millions of Americans than that he will try to put off the election .
He ’ s already talking down absentee voting , making false claims about the reliability of absentee voting even when he votes by absentee himself , ” the California Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ admitted — and it ’ s rather startling to hear him say out in the open — that he believes that more Americans vote , more would participate in our democracy , he and other Republicans can ’ t get elected .
That may very well be true , but that is not a reason to disenfranchise people .
It ’ s a reason to change their platform , ” he continued .
The frequent Trump critic went on to accuse Republicans of putting people ’ s health at risk in an effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with their opposition to mail-in voting .
“ I do think that like they tried in Wisconsin , the Republicans may try to force people to choose their vote or their health , ” Schiff said .

Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our country if we allow democracy to be destroyed.
” One MSNBC appearance apparently wasn ’ t enough for Adam Schiff .
He also appeared on Chris Hayes ’ s show to discuss his favorite subject , the impeachment trials .
Schiff made the absurd claim that 50,000 Americans are now dead because Donald Trump wasn ’ t removed from office .
To hear such a ridiculous claim come from a United States Representative is a new low , even for Adam Schiff .

Adam Schiff did everything in his power to make himself the star of the impeachment show.
Once that show failed, however, Schiff faded into the distance. News networks no longer had a reason to put his face on TV everyday.
Now Schiff has found a way to wriggle back into the limelight.
Appearing on MSNBC yesterday, Schiff claimed that we need to make prepaid postage ballots available for Americans. His reasoning?
Why, Donald Trump is going to prevent people from voting in 2020 of course!
Trump simply has questioned how reliable widespread mail-in voting would be, since it does open the opportunity for voter fraud opportunities. Democrats don’t seem to want to answer any questions as to how we can ensure mail-in voting will create an accurate, fair election.
Here’s the details on Schiff’s latest appearance from the New York Post:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said he worries more that President Trump will try to keep “millions of Americans” from voting safely in November than he does that the commander-in-chief would try to delay election day. Asked on MSNBC Sunday about presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s concern that Trump would try to delay the November election because of coronavirus, Schiff (D-Calif.) said the president did not have the authority to do so. “I’m more worried he will try to disenfranchise millions of Americans than that he will try to put off the election. He’s already talking down absentee voting, making false claims about the reliability of absentee voting even when he votes by absentee himself,” the California Democrat said. “But he has openly admitted — and it’s rather startling to hear him say out in the open — that he believes that more Americans vote, more would participate in our democracy, he and other Republicans can’t get elected. That may very well be true, but that is not a reason to disenfranchise people. It’s a reason to change their platform,” he continued. The frequent Trump critic went on to accuse Republicans of putting people’s health at risk in an effort to reduce turnout in November, specifically with their opposition to mail-in voting. “I do think that like they tried in Wisconsin, the Republicans may try to force people to choose their vote or their health,” Schiff said. “And we need to insist, and I think needs to be a very important point in terms of protecting the health care of our democracy, we need to insist that every American in the fall if they choose to do so, has easy access to voting-by-mail with a postage-paid ballot. Because we can’t preserve the health of our country if we allow democracy to be destroyed.”
One MSNBC appearance apparently wasn’t enough for Adam Schiff. He also appeared on Chris Hayes’s show to discuss his favorite subject, the impeachment trials.
Schiff made the absurd claim that 50,000 Americans are now dead because Donald Trump wasn’t removed from office.
To hear such a ridiculous claim come from a United States Representative is a new low, even for Adam Schiff.

Ted Cruz Moves to Shut Down Chinese Propaganda Exploiting U.S. Loopholes; Set to Introduce Legislation

While President Trump fights against fake news in the media , Ted Cruz is poised to fight against fake news from China .
His proposed bill would not allow Chinese outlets to broadcast in North America using Canadian or Mexican airwaves .
Fox News has more details on how Cruz intends to close FCC loopholes : Sen. Ted Cruz , R-Texas , announced Friday that he intends to introduce legislation that would prevent outlets -- like China 's Phoenix TV -- from using Canadian or Mexican stations to spread foreign propaganda across U.S. airwaves .
The move comes as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its role in spreading disinformation about the coronavirus , which is thought to have originated in a lab in Wuhan .
Cruz 's office specifically mentioned Phoenix TV , which is reportedly using a Mexican broadcast tower to transmit Chinese propaganda into the U.S .
According to a press release , this particular legislation would amend communications law in a way that would preclude the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) from granting licenses to `` broadcast applicants who intend to change the language of the station they are purchasing , unless the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the station will never be influenced by a foreign government or governing party . ''
`` China should not be able to set up shop in Mexico and blanket America with propaganda , '' Cruz said in the press release .
`` Every year , the CCP [ Chinese Communist Party ] spends billions of dollars purchasing news outlets and waging information warfare to extend the reach of its propaganda and whitewash the unflattering and politically inconvenient truths about its totalitarian regime . ''
He added : `` We are seeing this play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country parrot Chinese talking points about the coronavirus pandemic -- a pandemic that could have prevented .
I look forward to introducing this legislation when Congress returns and closing FCC loopholes that allow China to wage their information warfare from across the border in Mexico . ''
Phoenix TV previously caught attention when Trump questioned one of its reporters at a press briefing earlier in April on the coronavirus .
`` Sounds like a statement more than a question , '' Trump said at the time .
The reporter went on to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for cooperation with the United States .
`` Are you personally working directly with China ? ''
she asked .
After Trump cited his trade agreement with China , the reporter again asked whether he was cooperating with China .
`` Who are you working for ?

Of course , the virus originated and spread from Wuhan , China .
But that did n't stop some Chinese officials from spreading propaganda claiming that the U.S. military developed the virus and attempted to frame China .
There is no evidence to support that conspiracy theory .

While President Trump fights against fake news in the media, Ted Cruz is poised to fight against fake news from China.
His proposed bill would not allow Chinese outlets to broadcast in North America using Canadian or Mexican airwaves.
Fox News has more details on how Cruz intends to close FCC loopholes:
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, announced Friday that he intends to introduce legislation that would prevent outlets -- like China's Phoenix TV -- from using Canadian or Mexican stations to spread foreign propaganda across U.S. airwaves.
The move comes as the U.S. has criticized the Chinese government for its role in spreading disinformation about the coronavirus, which is thought to have originated in a lab in Wuhan. Cruz's office specifically mentioned Phoenix TV, which is reportedly using a Mexican broadcast tower to transmit Chinese propaganda into the U.S.
According to a press release, this particular legislation would amend communications law in a way that would preclude the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from granting licenses to "broadcast applicants who intend to change the language of the station they are purchasing, unless the FCC can certify that the programming of the station will never be influenced by a foreign government or governing party."
"China should not be able to set up shop in Mexico and blanket America with propaganda," Cruz said in the press release.
"Every year, the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] spends billions of dollars purchasing news outlets and waging information warfare to extend the reach of its propaganda and whitewash the unflattering and politically inconvenient truths about its totalitarian regime."
He added: "We are seeing this play out right now as news outlets across the country parrot Chinese talking points about the coronavirus pandemic -- a pandemic that could have prevented.

To say that Mark Cuban and Donald Trump have had a tumultuous relationship is an understatement.
The two billionaires have often publicly criticized each other, but appear to have put politics aside for the good of the country.
President Trump announced the advisers who would be on the coronavirus economic recovery council.
Advisers come from every sector of the U.S. economy, ranging from healthcare to technology to manufacturing.
Among them is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who said, “I’m here to help [Trump] on his council — whatever I can do as an American.”
Now THAT is the American spirit!

welovetrump--2020-04-27--Trump Roasts Fox News, Bashes Donna Brazile and Chris Wallace

Trump 's tweet specifically called out three individuals that are part of the news network .
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan , contributor Donna Brazile , and anchor Chris Walace were all mentioned .
As to why Fox News maintains a relationship with Donna Brazile , it 's certainly a good question the President brings up .
You 'll recall that Brazile was forced to resign from CNN in 2016 for colluding with the Clinton campaign .
She fed Democrat debate questions to Clinton 's aides in an effort to give Hillary an edge over Bernie for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of individual you want contributing to your news network ?
Trump is right to question the network 's relationship with Brazile .
Here 's more details on the President 's commentary from Business Insider : The familiar targets of CNN and MSNBC — or `` MSDNC , '' as he put it — were the focus of his invective , but the president also attacked Fox News , the conservative network he has veered between lavishing praise on and accusing of showing insufficient loyalty .
`` .
@ FoxNews just does n't get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fed Democrat talking points , and they play them without hesitation or research .
They forgot that Fake News @ CNN & MSDNC would n't let @ FoxNews participate , even a little bit , in the poor ratings Democrat Debates , '' the president tweeted .
`` Even the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats laughed at the Fox suggestion .
No respect for the people running @ FoxNews .
But Fox keeps on plugging to try and become politically correct .
They put RINO Paul Ryan on their Board .
They hire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ donnabrazile ( and others who are even worse ) . ''
`` RINO '' is a pejorative term used by some conservatives that stands for `` Republican in name only . ''
The Fox News host Chris Wallace `` is nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes , '' the president tweeted , using the names he calls the CBS News show `` Face the Nation '' and the NBC News anchor Chuck Todd .
`` The people who are watching @ FoxNews , in record numbers ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ angry , '' he added .
`` They want an alternative now .
So do I ! ''
Trump has touted One America News Network as an alternative to Fox News and has given a media personality and conspiracy theorist who works there preferential treatment at White House briefings .
The tiny network , which regularly promotes far-right conspiracy theories , is not considered a serious rival to the ratings-topping Fox News .
It was unclear what exactly provoked Trump 's ire at the network over the weekend .
But it might have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that a group of anti-Trump Republicans would air an ad this week during `` Fox & Friends , '' the president 's favorite morning show .
As for Chris Wallace , remember that during the presidential debate between Trump and Clinton hosted by Fox News , Wallace brought up the subject of sexual harassment allegations against Trump .
In his questioning , Wallace almost insinuated that at least some of the women probably were n't lying .
During that debate , Wallace also told Trump that `` several things '' he said during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Moderators '' are supposed to moderate , not fact-check in real time .
It 's no wonder Trump has a rocky relationship with Wallace .
Last year , Wallace also blatantly attacked the President in a speech and said that he was `` assaulting '' the American media .
President Trump does n't assault the media .
He simply defends himself when he faces unfair or untrue coverage .

To start, there’s the fact that mail voting has evolved into a partisan issue. Republicans, led by President Trump, are strongly opposing efforts to convert to mail voting, arguing it boosts Democratic turnout or enables voter fraud. In reality, most studies have shown that mail voting does not advantage either party, and voter fraud is extremely rare, both in person and by mail. Indeed, Republican legislators have already spoken out against the proposals in Arizona and Minnesota, and President Trump and other Republicans have said they will oppose national efforts to encourage election reform.
But the bigger hurdle may be logistical. States can’t just snap their fingers and pull off a mail election on a dime; election administrators with whom we spoke agreed that preparing for a mail election is a challenge.
First, ballots need to be printed in massive quantities weeks in advance of the election. The Brennan Center for Justice, an advocacy group that supports expanded mail voting as one way to insulate elections from the effects of the pandemic, recommends printing 1.2 times as many ballots as there are registered voters to account for the possibility of more people registering to vote closer to the election. That’s a tall order for any state, but especially ones that normally use electronic voting machines and aren’t used to handling large volumes of paper ballots. And then, of course, for every ballot, you need a corresponding envelope to mail it in — and, as elections administration expert Tammy Patrick told The Appeal last month, “it’s not like these are just regular old envelopes that you can go down to Home Depot and buy.” They must include instructions for the voter — which have to be thoughtfully designed to guide confused voters — and are often custom-ordered.
There’s also the burden of assisting voters with the transition. Since Hawaii enacted default mail voting last year, Rex Quidilla, the elections administrator for the City and County of Honolulu, said his office has had to significantly ramp up support services for voters, such as providing replacements for ballots that get lost in the mail. In addition, his office has invested more time in maintaining the voter rolls to ensure that each voter’s address is up to date — otherwise, she won’t get her ballot. And Myrna Pérez, the director of the Brennan Center’s Voting Rights and Elections Program, recommended that officials hire public education specialists to assist with voter education. “People need to know that the election system is going to look a little different for them and what their options are,” she said. “[Election officials] should start working with local post offices to make sure that people know what to do with mail ballots, make sure they have tracking systems,” and other precautions to ensure no valid voter is disenfranchised.
Doing all that, while also stuffing and mailing out millions of ballot envelopes, is a herculean task — perhaps an impossible one for many election offices at current staffing levels.

For others, it means investing in specialized equipment like high-speed ballot scanners, automated mail sorting systems and signature-matching software. Honolulu is one jurisdiction that has embraced automation. “We were already at a point where manually processing the returned ballots was just not feasible anymore,” Quidilla said. “We’re a jurisdiction of half a million registered voters; it would be very difficult for us to receive and verify all these [ballots] on a manual basis.”

And in other words , when I talk about numbers , people say , well , let 's see what we need , and that 's what we 're taking inventory of .
But what the country needs is , really , we need to find a cure , we need to get rid of this virus .
What we need is a central command .
For the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somebody is in charge of just seeing what we need , what 's in the chain of -- the supply chain , what is n't , getting it to the places , the hot spots where it 's needed , moving it on after that .
We do n't have that .
What we need is really testing , testing , testing , to evaluate the scope of the problem so that we can truly have a measure of our success .
And what we need is again , just the respect that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that as they save lives , they 're not risking theirs , and that of their families .
They need the PPE , the personal protective equipment , to protect themselves , not just the health care workers but first responders , and others , and as well as the ventilators to get to people .
What the American people want is to see those workers get what they need .
What they want to see is them getting their own checks .
Let 's get it in the mail , whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ et cetera , and what they do n't want to see are industries in our country receiving taxpayer dollars and ripping them off with buyouts and bonuses , and dividends , et cetera .
So , that 's why , in this bill , we put the conditions in there , so that did n't happen , that we put the resources in there for small business , for unemployment , for direct payments , and now , we need more .

Though Pelosi is claiming that "We don't want any more government than we need," she has actually pushed for the expansion of big government.
Appearing on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Pelosi claimed that we need a "central command" to handle the COVID-19 pandemic.
I guess she forgot that we have a coronavirus task force that is handling that already...
Real Clear Politics has the transcript of Pelosi's appearance on Maddow:
MADDOW: And in terms of -- in terms of that preparation, in trying to match the scale of the congressional response to the size of the problem, it's been reported that the former Fed Chair Janet Yellen briefed Democrats within the last few day, saying that the real unemployment rate right now is probably about 13 percent already, rather than the official 4.4 percent. We've also heard it reported that the next CARES Act, that the next relief bill, will be on the order of about maybe another trillion.
When you think about that economic threat, and that economic response, do those numbers seem like they match to you, that that's the right size approach to that big a problem?
PELOSI: Well, we have to take it as it comes. And in other words, when I talk about numbers, people say, well, let's see what we need, and that's what we're taking inventory of. But what the country needs is, really, we need to find a cure, we need to get rid of this virus.
What we need is a central command. For the president of the United States to say, somebody is in charge of just seeing what we need, what's in the chain of -- the supply chain, what isn't, getting it to the places, the hot spots where it's needed, moving it on after that. We don't have that.
What we need is really testing, testing, testing, to evaluate the scope of the problem so that we can truly have a measure of our success.
And what we need is again, just the respect that we should have for our workers, so that as they save lives, they're not risking theirs, and that of their families. They need the PPE, the personal protective equipment, to protect themselves, not just the health care workers but first responders, and others, and as well as the ventilators to get to people.
What the American people want is to see those workers get what they need. What they want to see is them getting their own checks. Let's get it in the mail, whether it's unemployment or direct payment, et cetera, and what they don't want to see are industries in our country receiving taxpayer dollars and ripping them off with buyouts and bonuses, and dividends, et cetera.
So, that's why, in this bill, we put the conditions in there, so that didn't happen, that we put the resources in there for small business, for unemployment, for direct payments, and now, we need more.

The catch?
It doesn't matter if your income has or hasn't been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

That's right: government entities would be able to undermine private landlords and mortage companies.
If this sounds like socialism, it's because it is.
The Western Journal has more details on how this legislation disguised as rent cancellation actually harms private property rights while growing the government:
“The bill would constitute a full payment forgiveness, with no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners and no negative impact on their credit rating or rental history,” a news release from Omar’s office says.
Furthermore, a fund would be created “to fully finance the purchase of private rental properties by non-profits, public housing authorities, cooperatives, community land trusts, and states or local governments — in order to increase the availability of affordable housing during this downturn,” the news release says.
This means private property owners would be undermined and the power of government entities would be greatly increased.
Landlords and mortgage companies could apply for lost income to a relief fund that would be established for this purpose. Only primary residences would qualify, not investment properties or vacation homes.
It is no surprise that Omar’s fellow radical House “squad” members — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts — co-sponsored the bill, along with three other progressive Democrats.
The “squad” is determined to take maximum advantage of the suffering caused by the pandemic in order to create a large, socialist bureaucracy.
If this kind of bureaucracy were enabled, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to tear down, even when the pandemic ends.
If Omar and the progressives cared to solve the immediate problems we face, they would push for homeowners and renters to be allowed to go back to work so they can make their rent and mortgage payments without government assistance. If citizens are working, they do not need help from self-important lawmakers.
Reopening the economy is a speedier and more complete cure to the emerging housing problems sparked by mandated economic lockdowns to fight the pandemic.
Instead, this bill would punch a hole in the Constitution.
Landlords would not be allowed to take any adverse action against renters; if they did, they could be subject to fines, and ultimately they could lose their property.

Michael Flynn “Set Up” By Corrupt FBI Agents, New Evidence Suggests; Expectations for Total Exoneration Rise

Furthermore , it is being reported that the government `` deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution -- knowing there was no crime by Mr .
Flynn . ''
This is exactly what so many conservatives have feared for years .
That Democrats and the Deep State have been persecuting President Trump and those closest to him strictly for political reasons .
The National Review has an excellent breakdown on what could have been a forcible `` guilty '' plea : As I ’ ve noted several times over the years , it has long been speculated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe he was guilty ( and though the agents who interviewed him also did not believe he had intentionally misled them ) — nevertheless pled guilty to false-statements charges because prosecutors from Special Counsel Robert Mueller ’ s staff threatened him .
Specifically , Flynn is said to have been warned that , if he refused to plead guilty , prosecutors would charge his son with a felony for failing to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent .
Such a so-called FARA violation ( Foreign Agent Registration Act ) is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charged before the Mueller investigation , and it had dubious application to Flynn ’ s son ( who worked for Flynn ’ s private-intelligence firm ) .
Well , Powell now contends that the new disclosures demonstrate that Mueller ’ s prosecutors — she specifically cites Brandon Van Grack , who now runs Justice ’ s FARA unit — did indeed promise Flynn that they would not charge his son if Flynn pled guilty .
Worse , Powell avers that the prosecutors coerced Flynn and his counsel to keep this agreement secret .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a side deal that would not be written into the plea agreement and therefore would be kept from the court and the public .
Under federal law , all understandings that are relevant to a guilty plea must be disclosed to the judge .
It would be not merely a serious ethical breach for government lawyers to fail to reveal such an arrangement .
It would be a fraud on the court .
Of course , if a deal of the kind Powell is alleging had been disclosed , it would have illustrated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of activist Democratic prosecutors were playing in an effort to nail President Trump .
You ’ re stunned to hear it , I ’ m sure .
There is going to be more on this .
But a few more points should be made .
First , Sidney Powell had nothing to do with negotiating Flynn ’ s guilty plea .

Confronted by this dilemma , Powell has pressed a daring strategy : try to so enrage the court about the misconduct that the judge would throw the case out rather than merely vacate the guilty plea and leave Flynn fighting the case from square one .

Furthermore, it is being reported that the government "deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution -- knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn."
This is exactly what so many conservatives have feared for years.
That Democrats and the Deep State have been persecuting President Trump and those closest to him strictly for political reasons.
The National Review has an excellent breakdown on what could have been a forcible "guilty" plea:
As I’ve noted several times over the years, it has long been speculated that Flynn — though he did not believe he was guilty (and though the agents who interviewed him also did not believe he had intentionally misled them) — nevertheless pled guilty to false-statements charges because prosecutors from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s staff threatened him. Specifically, Flynn is said to have been warned that, if he refused to plead guilty, prosecutors would charge his son with a felony for failing to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent. Such a so-called FARA violation (Foreign Agent Registration Act) is a crime that the DOJ almost never charged before the Mueller investigation, and it had dubious application to Flynn’s son (who worked for Flynn’s private-intelligence firm).
Well, Powell now contends that the new disclosures demonstrate that Mueller’s prosecutors — she specifically cites Brandon Van Grack, who now runs Justice’s FARA unit — did indeed promise Flynn that they would not charge his son if Flynn pled guilty. Worse, Powell avers that the prosecutors coerced Flynn and his counsel to keep this agreement secret. That is, this was to be a side deal that would not be written into the plea agreement and therefore would be kept from the court and the public.
Under federal law, all understandings that are relevant to a guilty plea must be disclosed to the judge. It would be not merely a serious ethical breach for government lawyers to fail to reveal such an arrangement. It would be a fraud on the court.
Of course, if a deal of the kind Powell is alleging had been disclosed, it would have illustrated the hardball that Mueller and his band of activist Democratic prosecutors were playing in an effort to nail President Trump. You’re stunned to hear it, I’m sure.
There is going to be more on this. But a few more points should be made.
First, Sidney Powell had nothing to do with negotiating Flynn’s guilty plea. To the contrary, she has been intrepid in investigating whether that plea was induced by prosecutorial misconduct. Flynn was originally represented by the very politically connected Washington firm of Covington & Burling. The firm’s performance has already raised questions: They counseled Flynn on his FARA submissions, filing the FARA documents with the DOJ on his behalf; and they also represented him in his plea negotiations with Mueller’s staff, which involved the integrity of these same FARA filings. That’s a conflict of interest, and though the DOJ maintains that Flynn waived it, there is a question about whether such a conflict is waivable. Now comes the claim about a side deal not to prosecute Flynn’s son. Let’s stress that nothing has been proved at this point. But if Covington’s lawyers colluded with government lawyers to make such a deal and conceal it from the court, that would raise very serious legal and ethical issues.
Second, the Flynn case is so patently disturbing that, weeks back, Attorney General Bill Barr assigned a very well-regarded prosecutor, St. Louis’s U.S. attorney Jeff Jensen, to review it. The new disclosures are a result of Jensen’s investigation. The Justice Department’s disclosure to Ms. Powell indicates that more revelations are forthcoming.
Third, Powell’s litigation on Flynn’s behalf has always been uphill — which is why she is to be lauded for pursuing it. The remedy for being bullied into a guilty plea is for the defendant to be permitted to withdraw his plea and fight the charges. In Flynn’s case, that has been an illusory remedy. He must fear that if he voided his agreement and withdrew his plea, prosecutors would be free to charge his son (and to add any new charges they could conjure up against Flynn himself). Confronted by this dilemma, Powell has pressed a daring strategy: try to so enrage the court about the misconduct that the judge would throw the case out rather than merely vacate the guilty plea and leave Flynn fighting the case from square one.


welovetrump--2020-04-29--Former Senator Jeff Flake Says He Won’t Vote for Trump in 2020

Wouldn ’ t it be nice if politicians faded into the distance after holding office ?

welovetrump--2020-04-30--Trump Asks Why Federal Government Should Bailout Sanctuary Cities, Suggests Aid May Be Withheld

It ’ s refreshing to have a President that believes cities and states need to follow federal law .
Repeatedly throughout his presidency , Trump has demanded illegal sanctuary cities follow the law .
Now , he may be laying down the hammer with COVID aid .
While it ’ s certainly important to get aid to those who need it , it ’ s equally important that cities and states understand that federal law is supreme .
Some sanctuary cities blatantly disregard immigration laws and release dangerous criminals in order to prevent ICE from deporting them .
Just like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump is fed up with it , just like so many of us are .
Here ’ s further details on Trump ’ s potential plan from Business Insider : President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he might withhold federal coronavirus aid from any states refusing to comply with his administration ’ s immigration policies .
“ If it ’ s COVID-related , I guess we can talk about it , but we ’ d want certain things also , including sanctuary-city adjustments , ” he told a White House event meant to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic .
“ That ’ s one of the things I think about , ” he added .
“ If we were going to do something for the states , I think they ’ d probably want something having to do with sanctuary cities and other different points that we can discuss a little later on.
” Sanctuary cities and states have policies to refuse or limit cooperation with the federal government ’ s immigration enforcement .
Trump has long criticized them for not complying with his administration ’ s hard-line measures .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ California , Colorado , Connecticut , Illinois , Massachusetts , New Jersey , New Mexico , New York , Oregon , Vermont , and Washington .
There are also sanctuary cities and counties in other states that don ’ t have such policies .
Both Democratic and Republican governors have called for federal aid to help states cover massive budget shortfalls caused by the coronavirus crisis .
But the issue has become the focus of partisan controversy , with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last week saying that states with shortfalls should consider @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is designed to hand greater control over state budgets to the federal government .
Trump has long railed against cities that have resisted complying with his hard-line anti-migrant policies , often arguing that such cities shield dangerous criminals from prosecution and deportation .
Is it too much to ask for cities and states to follow the law ?
The liberal economist Robert Reich called Trump ’ s possible move a “ quid pro quo ” and likened it to the Ukraine controversy used to impeach him .

Trump has long criticized them for not complying with his administration’s hard-line measures. The US has 11 sanctuary states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. There are also sanctuary cities and counties in other states that don’t have such policies. Both Democratic and Republican governors have called for federal aid to help states cover massive budget shortfalls caused by the coronavirus crisis.
